Patent number: 10657105Abstract: A computer system for sharing objects comprises multiple front-end nodes and a back-end node for providing a namespace shared by the front-end nodes. A first front-end node that is any one of the front-end nodes manages local-lock counts for each of objects managed by the first front-end node. The local-lock count is the number of locks taken by operations to the objects including the directory and sub-objects thereof. Every time receiving a request for processing a target object from a client, the front-end node requests the back-end node to lock a parent directory of the target object if the parent directory has not been locked by the back-end node. The front-end node sends a response of the received request to the client regardless of whether or not the parent directory has been unlocked by the back-end node. If the local-lock count of the parent directory is zero, the first front-end node requests the back-end node to unlock the parent directory.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hieuhanh Le, Masanori Takata, Yoji Nakatani, Hitoshi Arai, Hitoshi Kamei, Akiyoshi Tsuchiya, Atsushi Sutoh

Patent number: 10275316Abstract: A file on file storage is archived as an object on object storage. In this case, a correspondence between UUID which is an identifier of the object and a path or an inode number which is an identifier of the file is recorded. This is referred to as correlation between the file and the object. However, because of changing of the path due to the renaming of the file, or changing of the inode number due to overwriting of the file, the correlation is likely to be lost. The invention provides a technique that restores the lost correlation and causes the correlation between the file and the object to be maintained.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2014Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiromu Hota, Masanori Takata, Hitoshi Arai, Masaaki Iwasaki

Patent number: 9721331Abstract: In the present invention, subband signals are obtained by performing multiresolution decomposition on image data by using a broad-sense pinwheel framelet that is a set of an approximate filter with no orientation and a plurality of detail filters with respective orientations, and that has a degree. When an image is reconstructed by summing the obtained subband signals, the reconstructed image data is generated by attenuating or amplifying a subband signal corresponding to at least one of filters that have predetermined frequency characteristics and/or a predetermined orientation among the filters.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF JAPAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AGENCYInventors: Hitoshi Arai, Shinobu Arai

Publication number: 20170185605Abstract: A file server apparatus includes a memory which stores a program for controlling storage of data of a file in a storage apparatus, and a processor which executes the program. The processor manages a capacity of a storage area of an archive system in which a file stored in the storage apparatus is archived and manages a used capacity of the storage area. When receiving a write request of a file, the processor calculates a used capacity of the storage area of the archive system where a file related to the write request is archived and determines whether or not the file related to the write request can be archived in the archive system based on the capacity of the storage area of the archive system and the calculated used capacity. When determining that archiving cannot be performed, the processor notifies the host computer of an error.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2014Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventors: Takuya HIGUCHI, Hitoshi ARAI, Sadahiro NAKAMURA, Nobuyuki SAIKA

Patent number: 9501241Abstract: A storage system comprises a second NAS storage apparatus comprising a processor and a storage medium and a third NAS storage apparatus for migrating an object managed by a first NAS storage apparatus. The processor stores path information of an object for which migration has started after including the path information in object management information, in the storage medium prior to migrating the object entity to the third NAS storage apparatus. The processor, after receiving the object entity from the first NAS storage apparatus and migrating the object entity to the third NAS storage apparatus, stores the third NAS storage apparatus path information to the object entity in the object management information, and reflects the management information in the third NAS storage apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Ogasawara, Hitoshi Arai, Homare Kanie
